As it was Friday, this afternoon I would be working in the Charity shop where I volunteer. It’s only the afternoon, 1300-1630, 3.5 hours so it’s not overly onerous, indeed, I really enjoy interacting with the customers. The problem today was there weren’t many of them. Strangely though, it didn’t seem like that. Perhaps nextContinue reading “2112 – Friday”

2107 – Letter to Steve XXVIII – The Big Holiday & an Elk.
Letter XXVIII Dear Steve, I hesitated before starting this week’s letter, only to work out which direction to go. By that, I mean do I at least acknowledge Gilbert’s letter XXVIII, or do I explain the 5-week absence? Not so much explain the absence, but talk about what I had wanted to do, but didn’tContinue reading “2107 – Letter to Steve XXVIII – The Big Holiday & an Elk.”
2093 – A road trip
The A3 is an interesting road. I’ve not only driven along it quite a few times, but it has also given me more than a few adventures. I passed my Amateur Radio Foundation exam in 2016; not long after that, I joined an organisation called RAYNET. I had a great time being a part ofContinue reading “2093 – A road trip”
2072 – Put yourself out there
i’ve beeen going on a fair bit recently about vlogging, you might reasonably ask why? There is a youtuber, Rob the Maritimer, click his name to see his channel. Rob has set up a community, called Creators Cove, and issued a challenge to his 117,000 followers. Over a period of four weeks, issue three “longContinue reading “2072 – Put yourself out there”
2068 – Just one of those walks
I had just dropped Elayne off at the shops, and was on my way home, when I had this thought that things just looked really nice and I very much wanted to go for a walk. Not a particularly special walk, just my normal route past the Cockle Ponds, along the waterfront and back alongContinue reading “2068 – Just one of those walks”
2058 – In the shop
I volunteer, normally on a Friday afternoon, in a local charity shop. I got asked if I would do today, Saturday, as well. I said yes to help out (I don’t know how to say that without making me sound noble for doing that), but it’s not. I made it quite clear that my offeringContinue reading “2058 – In the shop”
2048 No Observations
Yesterday, I wrote a post about observations: https://localitystories.com/2026/07/07/2047-observations/As you can imagine, today, I was really looking out for observations that I could record. You know what’s coming next, don’t you? I did get out today. I met up with some friends from the Camera Club at the Vine, which is about half a mile fromContinue reading “2048 No Observations”
2040 – Facebook’s Baleful Glare
We had a bit of excitement today. A colony of bees decided it would quite like to live in our silver birch tree. More on that story in the next Letter to Steve. Every so often, I get big pangs of guilt about Facebook. Mainly, that I haven’t been posting there. The rot set inContinue reading “2040 – Facebook’s Baleful Glare”
2024 – Letter to Steve XVII
Dear Steve, The Focus of Gilbert’s letter this week are fish and reptiles. I’m really not in a position to write in detail on either of these, so I take it as an opportunity for some poetic license, jumping around the topic space. We have lived here for a little under twelve years. When weContinue reading “2024 – Letter to Steve XVII”
1982 – A Trip Out
For several weeks now, I’ve had a thought in my head, that lead to today. I went to London, for a very specific purpose. My first port of call was the British Museum. I’ve walked past this grand establishment before, but I have never been in. It almost didn’t happen. It’s best to book aContinue reading “1982 – A Trip Out”
